That’s right. This Midoriya papercraft is made with each part of the limb being movable and posable, each part of the legs and arms bending 180° and rotating 360°! Because of this articulation of the limbs and body, Midoriya itself looks somewhat slimmer than in the actual anime/manga, because the limbs need space to move around. So, this version almost looks like a future Midoriya action figure (:I think it looks really cool, actually!
Now for those following me for a loooong time maybe remember that I already did a moving mannequin OC papercraft years ago as well. But the patent I used for it to move was only able to rotate the limbs and not actually bend them. With this system of joints, it can be fully moved to each angle!
*********************
The papercraft is unfolded to 24 cm and has 7 pages to print out (the first page is an optional double-sided print for the backside of the hair, so it can be fully colored in the back as well).
The papercraft consists of a 3D model of Midoriya with separate movable parts. The separate parts that can move are: The head (with 3 optional facial expressions), the torso, the waist, the upper arm, the under arm with 3 optional hand poses for each side, the thigh, the calf, the feet/shoes and then you have the optional add-ons such as the cape, the mask around his neck and his belt with the simple pouches.
Because of the small joint parts and intersections to hold the joints inside the parts, this papercraft is VERY COMPLICATED. It is hard to do, the parts are fiddly and small, and it needs to be reinforced in the joints as well to hold together better. This is an experimental papercraft and because of the complicated assembly process, I can only recommend it to professional and experienced papercrafters only, ones that are absolutely confident and precise with their papercraft assemblies! This papercraft is a 11/10 to make, I joke not, and I want each of the potential interested papercraft builders to know this before you think of buying it.

I am still thinking on how to make this process easier to make for future moving papercraft projects I will make, so maybe I’ll make a few moving crafts that are easier and not so articulate as this one. The perfect system is still in the works, but for now this sophisticated scheme came out quite nice actually.
I hope you are enjoying the final MHA season and that we’ll see our guys win in the end!
Enjoy and happy crafting~
